Default my cluster is smoking...ground problem maybe?

OK my car is a 88 crx si with a Z6 head on it.I just finished the swap and i dont have the vtec hooked up yet.Well the car staretd fine after the swap but then it just died and the speedometer needle melted off....WTF!!!.

so now if i try to start it it will start but the peice where the speedo needle was will glow a little and the cluster will start smoking and the car will die. now someone on here said it was probably a bad ground and the car was trying to ground itself through the speedometer cable....


So my question is,is there a ground on the tranny or something or maybe the dash?which one is causing this?if i make a DIY ground wire kit from home depot will it solve my problem...??

Edit...i forgot to say im getting a code 20
